Valentine's Day Tea Party Prep Continues!

Hi Everyone....I am still getting ready for the fabulous Valentine's Day Tea Party....I found some pink hot chocolate at Marshalls which I think the girls will love.  Then, while shopping at Target, I found pink heart shaped marshmallows....how cute is that?  Marshalls also had some Martha Stewart decoration kits pretty cheap, so yes, I am going to cheat and use them - I promise I will post picks next week after all is put together.

Anyway, on to today's project....I got the most fabulous camera for Christmas - a polaroid!  Well, actually it is a Fuji, but same concept.  Here's a picture of this cute little camera that pops out the cutest sized pictures - credit card sized!

I am the guest designer on today's PaperCraftWeekendChallenge's blog today and needed to make a project using some product....go to http://papercraftweekendchallenge.blogspot.com to see the dilemma I had figuring out what product lol!  Anyway, I wanted to give the girls a picture to remember this day and these pics needed a frame.  I pulled out my Cricut Fancy Frames cartridge and found just a simple rectangle frame.  I cut it at 3 inches - the length of the picture I wanted to put in the frame - using my Gypsy, I was able to see that the opening would be pretty close to the right size for this picture.  Then, I cut the rectangle border at the same size.  I figured I should cut the vertical easel the same size....well.....not quite - what came out was a tiny back for the picture.  I used the gypsy again and decided that 4.5 inches would be just the right size.  Here is the final picture.

So, here are the details....all of the papers are from Papertreyink.com.....I used Stickles glitter - yes, I said Stickles glitter - isn't it fabulous?  I am lucky enough to live about 20 minutes from where Ranger is located and every fall they have a warehouse sale - that's where I picked up that oh so glittery glitter! You can't really see it, but it is gorgeous!  I cut the heart using the Imagine's heart that is loaded into the machine at 1.5 inches and then embossed it with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.  I punched holes in the middle of the heart and threaded the beautiful Valentine's Day Divine Twine and a button and pop dotted that baby onto the frame.  I think I forgot to say that I hand cut a piece of chip board to glue the patterned paper to to make it sturdier...I left the top open so we can just slide the pictures into the frame on party day.  I also cut the vertical easel out of chipboard on my good old work horse, Cricut Expression.  Here's a picture of the back.

So that's it!  Hope you like!  Thanks for stopping by!
